abstract: APL is a package developed for computation of Association Plots (AP), a
  method for visualization and analysis of single cell transcriptomics data. The main
  focus of APL is the identification of genes characteristic for individual clusters
  of cells from input data. The package performs correspondence analysis (CA) and
  allows to identify cluster-specific genes using Association Plots. Additionally,
  APL computes the cluster-specificity scores for all genes which allows to rank the
  genes by their specificity for a selected cell cluster of interest.
